Re: broken main tip

I have been there, it was before the break, the one you have coming will you
must admit get full plant behind it , but will not get future plant support
which may be needed for finishing out the season. Only the little experience
I have seen. May be better of to set one on first or second side vine close
to stump. Just a option

Subject: broken main tip

  I was wondering how many pumpkins have been grown on plants that have had
the main broken off and let a secondary take over as the main?
  If you have had 1 was it after the break where the secondary took over
that
it was set on or was it before the break and where the secondary took over
as
the new main?
  I have a plant that the wind broke about a foot and a half of the main off
with the plant being about 11 feet long before it broke. I have a female at
the joint just before the break and was wanting to know how many huge ones
have been grown on plants with broken main tips.
